[quote=Anonymous]What does not being aggressive look like? Some coaches, especially in rec who don't understand soccer very well and when you're talking about younger ages, think it's about being selfish and scoring. Is that what you mean? Or do you mean he doesn't go after 50-50 balls or is uncomfortable with using his body to shield the ball? Being selfish and wanting to score can be a liability, or it can be an advantage in a good striker. A liability if they don't make passes they should or an advantage because they are determined to get the ball in the goal. Defensive and mid-fielders are aggressive in a different way by not being afraid of larger players or making the tackle. If your child is shying away from the ball or not going after it aggressively enough that's more of an issue and it may or may not change with a higher level team and a coach who can push him. Give it a try and see what happens. Hopefully he'll have fun either way.[/quote]
